Thankfully her tiara is still in the UK and wasn't broken up or sold off to pay off inheritance taxes!

Yes indeed. It is such a marvelous tiara.

I know this blog suggests that the Bandeau was inherited by Alexandra, but has this ever been confirmed? My understanding was that Alexandra received no major jewellery from her mother, it was all left to her brothers. Her mother's expectation was that it was for Alexandra's in-laws to provide her jewellery.

She was the only person aside from her mother who wore the tiara, but it’s possible her mother simply loaned it to her. She did get jewels from her mother and her husband’s family.

Fair point. But then, she also wore the Fringe tiara, which ended up with Michael.

What jewellery company made the Maple Leaf Brooch?

Other than it was a gift from her Canadian friends I could not find any other information.
I assume from that it was made in Canada?
